Xueba starts with change

Chapter 450 Next Goal (4000-word chapter)
After a while, the chairman of AMS, Mike Lean, raised his hand to signal the audience to be quiet.

"We have made our winners wait for a while, and we will officially present awards to our winners."

After speaking, McClain turned around, smiled and said to Chen Zhou: "Congratulations, young man! I hope you can make more and more outstanding achievements in the future!"

"I believe that the Cole Prize is just your beginning, and the broader world of mathematics in the future is your end!"

Smiling and taking the medal and the check from McClain, Chen Zhou said politely: "Thank you for your encouragement, I will continue to work hard."

McClain took a step back slightly, gave up the microphone, and made a gesture of invitation: "Let's give your acceptance speech first."

Chen Zhou was not humble, after all, he told Tao Zhexuan that there was no report meeting this time, only the acceptance speech.

It can't be that he can't listen to the report meeting in the end, and he didn't even hear the acceptance speech, right?
After organizing the language a bit, Chen Zhou said slowly: "This is the first mathematics award I have won, and this is something I could not have imagined three years ago..."

Following Chen Zhou's narration, everyone in the audience finally understood the past experience of this shining new star in the mathematics world for the first time.

Although it has only been more than three years in total, there is a strange appeal in Chen Zhou's narration.

"So, mathematics may be the world of geniuses, but more, it is still a paradise for those who are willing to work hard!"

As Chen Zhou's voice fell, there was thunderous applause immediately after.

Professor Henry Damon and Professor James Maynard, who were sitting in the audience, felt both helpless and admired after hearing Chen Zhou's acceptance speech.

They ask themselves, have they slacked off?

The answer is, maybe there are, but not many.

However, in front of a "student idiot" like Chen Zhou.

There are not many of them, but they are also slack.

Although the two of them didn't quite agree with Chen Zhou's last sentence.

But it is not completely unreasonable as a commonly used encouragement declaration for winners.

Judging from Chen Zhou's own experience alone, his efforts did account for a large part of the factor.

Moreover, in just over three years, he can go from a failure of the college entrance examination to the youngest winner of the Cole Prize in history.

The hard work and dedication involved cannot be determined solely by talent.

Therefore, they admire Chen Zhou very much.

As for why you feel helpless?
It is because Chen Zhou not only has hard work, but also talent.

More importantly, he fulfilled his talent.

And it has been realized at an extremely fast growth rate.

From the hail conjecture to the Jebov conjecture, his progress is simply terrifying!
In particular, the distributional deconstruction method, a new mathematical tool, has been hailed as "the opportunity to analyze number theory" by many bigwigs in the mathematics field.

After all, they were only defeated by Chen Zhou, who had grown up in this year.

So, they are really helpless.

Different from these two accompanying runners, other people have different views on Chen Zhou's story.

Moreover, Chen Zhou's words of encouragement at the end also made them feel very excited.

On the stage, Chen Zhou watched with satisfaction the effect of his acceptance speech.

By the way, he looked at the medal and the check in his hand.

The words "100000" were written on the check.

Chen Zhou was quite satisfied with the amount of the bonus.

Sure enough, the comments on the Internet still can't be trusted too much.

Perhaps among all the mathematics awards, the Cole Prize in Number Theory is not so famous.

However, in the field of number theory alone, the Cole Prize in Number Theory is definitely the crown in the field of number theory.

Otherwise, it would not be known as the highest award in the field of number theory.

So, how could it be possible that there is only a bonus of 5000 US dollars as it is said on the Internet?

Nodding to McClain again, Chen Zhou walked on.

Amid congratulatory applause, Chen Zhou returned to his seat.

As soon as he sat down, Terence Tao joked with a smile: "The youngest winner in the history of the Cole Award, shouldn't it be time to break the record for the Fields Award next time?"

Chen Zhou smiled, but did not speak.

However, as Tao Zhexuan said.

The current Chen Zhou should indeed set his sights on the Fields Medal.

On the stage, the chairman of AMS, Mike Lean, was left.

This old man who was labeled by Chen Zhou as a liking to whet people's appetites.

I didn't care about the noise that had appeared from time to time among the crowd under the stage.

With a smile on his face at the moment, he continued to speak his lines.

According to the procedure of the opening ceremony, after the Cole Awards were presented, he still had a very important task.

"Gentlemen and ladies, before the opening ceremony is about to end, I still have a few words to say to you. It can be regarded as sharing a question for you to think about..."

After hearing Meyer Ryan's words, the audience gradually quieted down, and everyone turned their eyes from Chen Zhou to the awards platform in the auditorium.

Seeing this, McLean continued: "Everyone here, whether it is a famous mathematician, a leader in an academic organization, or a student who is studying in a university..."

"May I ask, how sure are you that you can continuously create history that will be remembered by the world within one year?"

"Let me ask again, can you solve three world-class math problems consecutively within one year?"

"Oh, I almost forgot, the mathematical method he created helped other mathematicians to solve a mathematical problem..."

Everyone who had already been mobilized by the old chairman.

Hearing the last sentence, the brewing emotions were instantly dissipated.

Sitting under the stage, Francis, the chairman of MAA, also shook his head helplessly.

His old friend is really not suitable for such a speech.

Francis, who no longer has too many expectations, just hopes that this old friend can finally convey the meaning to the right, that's all.

Chen Zhou also looked at the old chairman with some helplessness, although the other party was talking about himself, and he felt like he was pretending for himself.

But Chen Zhou was still sweating for the old chairman.

After all, the feeling of being impassioned and impassioned, the appearance of falling in an instant, doing this in a speech, really, the gap is too big...

"Maybe you will measure yourself first, and then think about the great mathematicians in history, trying to find someone who can do what I said..."

"I don't deny that among the people here, they are mathematical geniuses..."

"As for the great mathematicians in history, you can also find some..."

The chairman of AMS, Mike Lean, didn't have Francis and Chen Zhou's thoughts at all. He thought his speech was not bad.

Therefore, this full of emotions, immediately invested in it again.

"But what if I add another condition?"

McClain's eyes sharply scanned the crowd sitting below.

The people sitting in the audience were once again brought in by McClain's words at this time.

Francis, who no longer had expectations, also looked forward to it again.

McClain retracted his gaze and said slowly, "What if we add an age limit of 20?"

"I'm afraid there are not many people who can meet this condition, right?"

After a pause, McClain said with emotion: "20 years old is really too young..."

"I think that the vast majority of us, at this age, are still in college, learning professional knowledge, far from reaching the height of solving mathematical conjectures..."

"It might be better. I'm already preparing for the graduate school exam, and I hope that I can be favored by a responsible tutor."

"As for those who are close, they may also want to continue their studies in graduate school, but if they are more, maybe they are worrying about making up the exam?"

"I thought about it just now. When I was this age, I was worrying about making up the exam. So, there is no tutor willing to ask me..."

When it comes to this, everyone smiles knowingly.

It is not to say that an outstanding mathematician must have no experience of making up exams.

McLean also smiled, and continued: "Actually, I'm not saying this for anything else. I just want to tell everyone that there are indeed some structural barriers in our mathematics community."

"These barriers are what we will encounter many times. And when we face these barriers, there is actually not much we can do."

"Unless, you can break it with practical actions..."

McClain stared at Chen Zhou in the audience with piercing eyes, and Chen Zhou was also looking at the old chairman wonderingly at the moment.

What Chen Zhou wondered was whether the old chairman was bewitched by Francis?
Otherwise, why did these two people say the same thing?
McClain retracted his gaze and said loudly into the microphone: "I don't know how many people can break this barrier with practical actions."

"I only know that today, the winner of our Cole Prize, Chen Zhou from Huaguo, has successfully broken through the barriers and achieved all that I just said!"

"The reason why I say this is of course not only because he solved three mathematical conjectures in one year, nor because he became the youngest winner in the history of the Cole Prize at the age of 3."

"It's what you all heard just now. When student Chen Zhou was in high school in Huaguo, he was just an ordinary student. He couldn't even get into some of the better universities in Huaguo."

"However, he did not choose to compromise, but started his journey of breaking barriers by taking the college entrance examination again!"

"To this day, he amazes us all!"

"It also told all of us that the structural barriers of the mathematics community can be broken!"

After a brief silence, everyone in the audience burst into applause again.

They also finally understood what the old chairman was planning to do after saying so much.

Also as Meyer Ryan said, Chen Zhou is a living example.

And, right in front of you.

Whether it is solving three world-class mathematical conjectures in a row in a year, or being the youngest winner in the history of the Cole Prize, it is a gimmick.

Francis in the audience finally looked at his old friend with satisfaction. Fortunately, the old guy finally pulled back halfway through the speech.

Liu Maosheng and Zeng Zigu, who were sitting beside Chen Zhou, were whispering something at this moment.

When Chen Zhou heard the conversation between the two, he shook his head helplessly.

However, regarding what the two said, whether his deeds will be included in elementary school textbooks, Chen Zhou himself is actually quite curious.

Anyway, he's a celebrity now.

Moreover, he is also a positive energy transmitter with a good image.

If it can be written into elementary school textbooks, maybe it can cultivate a group of... small mathematicians?
Chen Zhou coughed twice, interrupting Liu Maosheng and Zeng Zigu's whispers.

With the end of McClain's speech, the opening ceremony can be regarded as the end.

The mathematicians in the auditorium, as well as the students who came to join in the fun, began to leave.

As for the reporters outside the auditorium, they had already set up their guns and short guns, waiting for the winner of this year's Cole Number Theory Prize to appear.

"Hey, Bob, a lot of reporters?"

"Yeah, I thought there would be no reporters coming at the headquarters of AMS."

"It seems that AMS still doesn't plan to let go of the news of the Cole Award and Mr. Chen Zhou..."

The two students who came out of the auditorium exchanged in surprise when they saw this scene.

Because it has been decided to hold the academic exchange conference and award ceremony at the headquarters, AMS has already prepared a strategy for the visit of media reporters.

All the reporters who were able to come here have obtained relevant certificates and are on duty with certificates.

As the two students said just now, AMS does not intend to let go of the news of the youngest winner in the history of the Cole Prize.

Chen Zhou was mixed in the crowd and came out with Tao Zhexuan and others.

He thought the same as those two students, thinking that this is the headquarters of AMS, and there should be no reporters or anything.

Unexpectedly, he had just stepped out of the gate of the auditorium.

The reporters caught his figure in an instant, and then immediately activated their bodies.

He rushed to Chen Zhou at the fastest speed, and tried his best to put the microphone in Chen Zhou's mouth.

The reporters who were a little slower could only circle around the outer circle helplessly, looking for possible opportunities that might arise.

Perhaps only the photographer is a little more relaxed. As long as he can guarantee the position and capture Chen Zhou's shots well, the task will be completed.

The reporter who rushed to Chen Zhou first seized the right to interview the first question: "Hello, Mr. Chen Zhou, I am a reporter from The Washington Post. As the youngest winner in the history of the Cole Award, How are you feeling at the moment?"

Subconsciously, Chen Zhou wanted to say "It's okay", but when he thought of so many people watching, it seemed a little bad to just say three words.

So he adopted the most official statement: "I feel a little excited, and I am very happy to receive the Cole Prize in Number Theory."

After hearing Chen Zhou's answer, the reporter was quite annoyed that he wasted the first chance he had so hard to get.

Just as he thought, the next reporter had seized the opportunity.

This is a beautiful reporter with blond hair and big waves. She asked very quickly: "I am a reporter from the British "The Times". May I ask Mr. Chen Zhou, what is your next goal?"
